McLobster and Pizza…
Today is our only full day in Antigonish before we head east toward Newfoundland so we wanted to drive around a bit to see the area.
On our way out of town we decided to stop at the McDonald’s drive-thru for a breakfast sandwich. We also wanted to see what this was.

But we still don’t know. They only had the breakfast menu posted at the drive-thru.
So, Canada gets McLobster, and we just get McRib? What’s up with that?
We then headed back northwest to the town of Pictou.
Pictou is known as the “Birthplace of New Scotland” as it was here that the first wave of Scottish immigrants landed in 1773. And of course, Nova Scotia means New Scotland.
It’s kind of hard to descibe the scenery here, and the pictures just don’t do it justice. It’s rolling hills of forests and farms falling away to rocky cliffs that overlook the North Atlantic.

Here’s a Googled pic of Pictou from the air.

After wandering aimlessly for a while just admiring the view, we headed back to Antigonish for dinner at Boston Pizza. We always get a large pizza just so we’ll have leftovers.
Arriving back at the park, I decided to spring for the $3.50 to get the cable turned on at our site, since I couldn’t the satellite working because of a large tree in the way.
And surprise, the channels are pretty clear. Unusual for an RV park.
More tomorrow…
